Calculate, correct to one decimal place, the acute angle between the lines 3x - 4y + 5 = 0 and 2x + 3y - 1 = 0.

A.

70.6°

B.

50.2°

C.

39.8°

D.

19.4°

Correct answer is A

tanθ=m1m21m1m2

m1=slope of 1st line 4y=3x+5y=34x+54

m1=34

m2=slope of 2nd line3y=12xy=1323x

m2=23

tanθ=34(23)1((34)(23))=171212

tanθ=176

\theta \approxeq 70.6°
